5:00 am
check out roanin the dancing sea lion. the university of california santa cruz provided this evidence. roanin may be the first nonhuman mammal to keep a beat. scientists spent time teaching her to bob to music but surprised everyone with her rhythm while dancing to a song she had never heard before. we've got much more ahead on "cnn saturday morning" which starts right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >> good morning, everyone. i'm miguel marquez, 8:00 in the east coast, 5:00 out west. north korea is ramping up its threats showing off its military might. we're hearing it's loaded missiles on to launchers on its east coast. washington and south korea are closely watching all this unfold and getting ready in case pyongyang attacks. let's go to alyse labott.
5:01 am
what is the white house response right now? >> well, miguel they're really trying to cool down the rhetoric. i don't think they anticipated how heated things have become. while they say they're going to defend their u.s. allies and the homeland with some of these military moves they've been taking they're also trying to emphasize diplomacy, still miguel they're expecting north korea to take some type of action, let's take a listen to white house press secretary jay carney who said the u.s. really wouldn't be surprised if there was a missile test. as you know over the last couple of days, north korea has launched missiles onto its launchers. take a listen to jay carney. >> it would fit their current pattern of bellicose, unhelpful, unconstructive rhetoric and actions. we urge them to stop with the provocations and focus on meeting their international obligations and feeding their
5:02 am
own people. >> secretary of state john kerry headed out for a trip later in the week, he will be in asia visiting japan, south korea, and china, really trying to look past this latest escalation and try to think of a diplomatic way forward. the u.s. realizes they're not going to solve this militarily, and they're hoping that they can dial down the rhetoric and get north korea back to the table at some point. >> always as is the case with them. is it possible, are they hopeful they can engage north korea, always difficult to engage or is this kim jong-un driving to prove something? >> definitely he's trying to prove something. he's new. he has to prove something not only to the international community, but more importantly to his own people. he seems to be the threat is coming a lot faster and sharper than his father, kim jong-il but there is a pattern to the north korea in which they make these bellicose threats and take
5:03 am
action. ironically some missile launcher, even a nuclear test would be the best the u.s. could hope for. what they really don't want to see is some cross-border action in which south korea then is forced to respond and then things escalate. so after some kind of action by north korea, they're hoping that they could dial it down, get everybody back, cooler heads prevailing and they could eventually get north korea to have some kind of talks. >> elise, thank you very much. we'll have more when we talk to former adviser to president obama in just about 30 minutes. but first let's take a closer look at what north korea is doing with its missiles and how satellites could be the first weapon of defense for washington and seoul. cnn's tom foreman, and retired general james "spider" marks tell us about that. >> all eyes on the eastern coast of north korea where the musudan mobile launchers are. let's bring in the map and
5:04 am
general talk to me about this. if we have a missile launch the first thing we involve is satellites. >> the satellite will pick up the i.r. signature, the infrared signature of the missile leading the mobile launch. it will indicate where it came from and send tracking data to the integrated system to figure out the polimetry of the missile. >> it measures all where this is going and how fast. >> if the missile threatens a u.s. or allied resource in the region it will be taken out. >> how? >> it will be taken out by an anti-ballistic missile system which is already in place, fully automated, no man in the loop. this works exceptionally well and we practiced with this technology. >> the time it takes off and down is all computers managing everything but there is a tough human decision to be made. >> the demand man in the loop h next. there's a north korea and a
5:05 am
south korea, there's nothing in the playbook that says we're going to reunify this peninsula. >> there could be difficult and nervous moments along the way to that. >> gentlemen, thank you very much. secretary of state john kerry is headed back to the middle east, including jerusalem, ramallah, and beijing. first up is istanbul. he pushed israel to mend relations with turkey, now kerry is trying to nudge them even closer. while he's in the region, he could also urge israel and the palestinians to restart peace talks which have been stalled for months. kerry is expected to return to washington on april 15th. now an update the unsolved murders of two texas prosecutors, authorities in kaufman county, texas, are cracking down on threats and taking every potential threat seriously like this week when someone called in a bomb threat during the memorial service for
5:06 am
district attorney mooim mclelland and his wife. robert miller was charged with making a threat online and nick morale is accused of threatening a county official but police say these men are not tied to the killings. cnn's martin savidge joins us from kaufman county, texas. how do these threats relate to the case? >> reporter: it clearly shows there is a zero tolerance when it comes to authorities and anyone that is making a threat either against law enforcement or against some sort of public official down here in texas and you pointed out what examples of the two men that are in custody and they face a serious charge, each have one charge of terroristic threat and they're being held on $1 million bond each as a result of the threats that were made either in one case it was posting that went online and the other case somebody who actually called it in, which is hard to imagine. they are not fooling around down
5:07 am
here. as far as the bomb threat that was made against the memorial service, they are still looking for that particular individual and you can bet they will come down just as hard on them. no direct connection as you point out to the murders themselves, but it is not going to in any way, they don't want to allow this circumstance to somehow spiral out of control where people are making all sorts of erroneous threats or carrying out copycat attacks. >> we're hearing speculation about the murder of mike mclelland and his wife, some people think they may have known the killer? >> yes. and there's a couple of reasons for this. apparently there is word coming from sources in the investigation that the attack on their home may have occurred early in the morning. the mclellands would have been aware with events that happened with the prison official in colorado and knew what happened to one of their chief prosecutors two months before so they were on their guard.
5:08 am
how did the murderer get into the home? there was apparently no sign of forced entry implies was it someone they knew or was it somehow a ruse, somebody had a disguise or used a method that caught them off their guard and allowed the gunman to get into the home and thereby carry out the murders. it's not clear in the end. this had been brought up in the case of the murder of mark hasse in the sense of how did someone get so close to him? he was on his guard, he supposedly carried a weapon and there he was outside of a courthouse in a public space and gunned down, so was it possible that he, too, was caught off guard because of someone he knew or some kind of ruse? we don't know but that's one of the many threats that are being followed right now, miguel. >> martin savidge in texas, thank you very much. now to another brazen killing in west virginia, police are trying to find out how the man accused of shooting and killing a sheriff got his gun. investigators say dennis maynard
5:09 am
killed sheriff eugene crum while he ate lunch in his car. maynard is recovering from a bullet wound, police will interview him when he's well enough to speak. some disappointing news on the economy coming from washington. just 88,000 jobs were added last month and nearly half a million people dropped out of the workforce. retail was one of the biggest losers, 24,000 jobs were cut as employers trimmed their holiday payrolls. time to check in on weekend weather, meteorologist alexandra steele joins me now, okay, let's start right here in atlanta, with more than 100,000 people expected in town for the big final four basketball games, live concerts and a lot of other events. alexandra? >> all right, look at how we welcome the country, sunny and 70s, right we wouldn't do it any other way. if you're staying here through tuesday we get to 76, the warmest air thus far this year here in atlanta in the
5:10 am
southeast. final forecast absolutely fabulous, we've shaken off the cold and the rain but not just here in atlanta. new york getting to 66, 70 by tuesday so the warmth gets into the mid-atlantic and the northeast. dallas, temperatures stay above it through tuesday as well. chicago 66, ten degrees above average as we head toward the beginning and middle of the week. there is an exception, a calf national in the ointment, not all spring and flowers. in the upper midwest we're seeing this disturbance come by, three to five inches of snow expected in the u.p. of michigan so that's where some cold air is. pacific northwest, some rain and some snow, could see about six inches of snow for some areas but here's where the heat is, high pressure in control, warm heat relative, right? but with that warmth what we're going to see potentially, a heads up for the beginning of the week, could see a severe outbreak tuesday and wednesday. here are the setups, what we're

incredible new video has come to light showing the man who murdered martin luther king jr. in memphis. new video was released showing james earl ray, one tape shows authorities flying ray back to memphis. the reason the video looks grainy and out of focus, the county's office bought a new camera but learned to use it on the fly. another shows police booking him into the county jail, ray pled guilty to killing king and died in jail in 1998. now to washington where the white house is preparing for a battle over plan b, it is in a stunning blow to the
5:16 am
administration a brooklyn judge overruled the department of health and human services saying that anyone of any age can buy the morning after pill over the counter. cnn legal analyst jeffrey toobin explains why the ruling is so important. >> this is a 59-page opinion by judge edward corman in brooklyn federal court. it is so scathing, such an attack on the health and human services department for bowing to the pressure of conservatives. this isn't bowing to the pressure of liberals. this is bowing to the pressure of conservatives to limit access to plan b. >> now the debate over plan b is far from over. erin mcpike is in washington, d.c., following the administration's plan for the drug after this legal defeat, erin? >> hi there, miguel. the judge called the order arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable but white house spokesman jay carney said on friday the president stands by the order and called age limits the right thing to do. >> plan b is emergency
5:17 am
contraception that helps prevent pregnancy after birth control failure or unprotected sex. >> reporter: the drug called plan b doesn't terminate pregnancy like ru-486, instead it's meant to prevent pregnancy by using a higher dosage of birth control taken within three days of unprotected sex and the emotional debate over access to the morning after pill or plan b stretches back almost a decade when the bush administration refused to allow women of any age to obtain it over the counter but in 2006, bush's fda eventually ordered plan b to be made readily available to women 18 years and older. shortly after obama took office it was lowered to 17 and older but that wasn't enough for the center for reproductive rights a group that argued for years the drug should be widely available to all women, so they pursued the case further and the fda agreed. in december, 2011, commissioner
5:18 am
margaret hamburg said in a statement that plan b is safe and effective and should be approved for non-prescription use for all females of child-bearing potential. on the very same day in an unprecedented move, health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius overruled her, keeping the age limit at 17, and heading into campaign season, president obama agreed. >> the reason kathleen made this decision was she could not be confidence that a 10-year-old or an 11-year-old going to a drugstore should be able alongside bubble gum or batteries, be able to buy a medication that potentially if not used properly could end up having an adverse effect. >> reporter: now, 16 months later, federal district court judge ed word corman called
5:19 am
sebelius' decision politically motivated. he ordered the fda to remove the age limits to make the drug available to all americans in the next 30 days. the justice department is reviewing its options and may appeal the decision soon. >> erin mcpike in d.c. thank you very much. we're just a few hours until the final four games kick off in atlanta. we'll tell you how the city is getting ready to host college basketball's biggest game, plus the latest fallout from the rutgers player abuse scandal. i tuned it all out. with unitedhealthcare, i get information that matters... my individual health profile. not random statistics. they even reward me for addressing my health risks. so i'm doing fine... but she's still going to give me a heart attack. we're more than 78,000 people looking out for more than 70 million americans. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare.

the u.s. pushed the peninsula to the brink of war, they moved two missile launchers to the east coast. in response, south korea sent a couple of destroyers to guard the coast. joining me is former u.s. ambassador to south korea and lead negotiator on north carolina christopher hill, and joseph sorencioni, former adviser to president obama on nuclear issues. ambassador hill it's believed any launch would be a test launch and not a targeted strike. why is that. >> well certainly the movements we've seen, the type of vehicles, et cetera, are consistent with a test launch. also i don't believe these missiles have ever been fired before so i think most analysts believe this is indeed a test launch and it may be the crescendo the north koreans are looking for as they get through april and the u.s./south korean exercise comes to an end. >> mr. sorencioni how advanced
5:33 am
are the north korean missiles? it's been showing off its weapons. are these outdated, not very sophisticated? are they up to a 21st century fight? >> well, these missiles are we believe based on old soviet designs and old soviet submarine launch ballistic missiles at the ambassador who is the real expert on the korean peninsula noted, they've never been tested. these are liquid fuel missiles so we're not going to see a sudden launch. they have to be erected, have to be fueled, that would take hours, maybe days so if we were truly worried we could launch air strikes of all these missiles on the launch pad. the missile interacceptors you're seeing deployed have little relevance to this, the missile interceptors we'll deploy in guam are further away than this missile could possibly reach, those are the short and medium range missiles so a lot of this is for shoe. >> 29,000 u.s. troops nearby
5:34 am
this is a concern. the ambassador, the embassy could be in danger, is that a ploy to get other governments involved? >> sure looks like they're trying to hype the notion that there's danger in the peninsula caused by the u.s., et cetera. i must say i've never heard of this kind of thing before to tell embassies to go run for your lives and then the embassies say no, we're fine, just staying right here. so it is really an example of this kind of bizarre north korean propaganda. >> it sounds like this has a lot to do with internal politics and less so external politics. mr. corencione? >> we've stood firm and reaffirmed our allies, but you can't get into the bluster/counter bluster game.
5:35 am
north korea can outvazy us, there's significant things they can do like this stunt warning embassies to evacuate. now we're looking for the exit ramp. you want to work with your allies, work with china. how do you back north korea down. don't respond to the provocat n provocations, don't escalate the crisis. i think over the next few weeks particularly as the exercises between u.s. and south korea calm down that you might be able to walk this crisis back and get the parties to the negotiating table. >> mr. ambassador always the perception that china will knock north korea back into order but is it as simple as that? >> i wish it were. the chinese probably have, there are limitations to what they can do with the north koreans and also limitations to what they want to do. china is pretty split on the subject with those in china who feel they're plucking an ally and don't want to push them and others who would like to be rid of them. clearly china has moved somewhat
5:36 am
in recent weeks, clearly getting a little tired of the north koreans and i think that's why it's been important for the u.s. to keep our own rhetoric at a lower level and try to work with the chinese and ways that china can be helpful in bringing the north koreans back from the brink. i doubt we're going to be able to get any nuclear talks started any time soon but at least we can kind of get through this crisis with the last few weeks. >> mr. cirincione is it your perception this has more to do with internal politics? we seem to be taking it more seriously because of the test launch and the nuclear tests they have hey in recent months but is this about kim jong-un consolidating his power internally? >> almost certainly. never understatement the goal of domestic politics in international affairs. this is a young untested leader. he's the third in the kim "dynasty," they've been in control for 60 years. lot of the bluster works for them internally. this is about shoring up his
5:37 am
domestic base, making bond between him and the people, solidifying his ties with the military, increasing his negotiating status, his chips for any talks that do occur. it's almost certainly internal. that's why it's important for us to have close communication with allies, it's important you heard chuck hagel say he's been in touch with the chinese defense minister, secretary of state john kerry will be in beijing next saturday, that might be a crucial period for this entire crisis. >> mr. ambassador, quickly, i take you you see this as ratcheting down over time it sounds like? >> well, you know, first of all we have to be very careful on this situation, the north koreans are, this is not the most sophisticated bunch of leaders we're dealing with over there and they really moved right up to the line, they could easily stumble over it. the south koreans are truly fed up with this situation, so the chance of an incident, the dmz
5:38 am
offshore somewhere like that is i think significant so i think we have to be very careful here, the hope is that the north korean also feel they've gotten out of this what they wanted to get. i completely agree with joe, it has to do with their domestic politics. i don't think they're going to get much from anybody else. i don't see the north koreans winning in this exchange, somehow getting financial consideration, et cetera, but this has been a tough consideration and i give the administration high marks in how they've handled it. >> gentlemen thank you for sharing your expertise with us. >> thank you, miguel. a psychiatrist who treated james holmes says she warned police a month before the incident so is she, too, to blame for the shooting that killed 12 people or are the police who failed to act? that legal conversation ahead. ♪ you know my heart burns for you... ♪

now the legal cuts disturbing case of james holmes, the man accused of the shooting massacre at a colorado theater last summer. officers found a batman mask, two jars of bullets, shot gun and rifle round and ammo clips, four brands of beer, bourbon and rum, pill bottles, a glow stick, black spray paint, video games and 50 cans and bottles of
5:43 am
liquid. joining me cnn legal contributor paul callan. he's facing 166 charges including murder and attempted murder and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. does this evidence mean anything to the case? >> i think it's important evidence with respect to the case because homes will be inserting an inen sanity defens and the materials in the apartment indicate planning that he was thinking about his target and getting ready for this mass homicide, mass shooting. that makes it difficult for him to proceed with an insanity defense which kind of requires you not to understand the meaning of what you're doing under the codes as they're currently written so i think it's evidence for the prosecution. >> other evidence shows dr. lynn fenton warning police a month before the shooting spree. why didn't she seek
5:44 am
hospitalization for holmes? >> this is the blockbuster evidence we're seeing in more detail in this document revelation. dr. fenton has been criticized publicly for not having warned of the danger that holmes posed. now, obviously we know she did make a warning an explicit warning to a university of colorado police officer in which she apparently described him as homicidal and a danger to the public. so the thing we now have to wonder about is why didn't the university of colorado alert civilian police forces that this dangerous individual was potentially at large? you have one agency not speaking to another, it kind of reminds me of the situation pre-9/11 where the fbi wasn't talking to the cia and we didn't know about the planes about to hit the world trade center. here you have a dangerous homicidal very sick individual. university of colorado police know about it and apparently from what we're seeing they don't do anything except suspend his student i.d. card, so he's
5:45 am
not going to cause trouble on campus. >> could she be sued? >> well, i think she's probably going to have a pretty strong defense under existing law. the law basically with respect to a psychiatrist is they don't have an obligation to make a warning unless there's been an explicit threat, in other words, a target has been identified. now even though holmes didn't say who specifically he was going to kill, she did warn the police. she's probably going to do all right in a lawsuit in terms of existing law and the bigger question is why didn't they move to have him involuntarily committed as a psychiatric case. nobody does that. fenton doesn't do it, the cops don't do it and if he had been locked up for treatment we would have avoided this horrible tragedy. >> the doctor did warn the police at the university, could they be held liable? >> yes, there's going to be a suit against the university, but you know, existing law is not very clear in this area.
5:46 am
the university is going to say we don't owe a duty to the general public. we protected our own, our students, because we suspended his access to the campus, and that's all the law requires us to do, and ironically, that may be the case under existing law in colorado. the law is very, very unclear in this area and i think you'll probably see new laws being enacted as a result of that in the future. >> paul callan, thank you very much, have a great weekend. >> thank you. in other news the week was dominated by point blank murder and craigslist court. here's your week of crime in 60 seconds. deputy district attorney and her sheriff's deputy husband shot and killed an intruder when he tried to push his way into the couple's colorado home. the intruder shot once in the head and several times in the torso was identified as joshua stevens. it's unclear whether the husband or the wife pulled the trigger. congresswoman carolyn

6:01 am
online against a deputy district attorney. another man, nick morale also faces charges he's accused of threatening a county official. police say these men are not tied to the killings. martin savidge joins us from cou kaufman county, texas. how do the threats relate to the case. >> reporter: as you point out the authorities are bound and determined to make sure this does not spiral out of control, that somehow other people try to glom onto this and use it for whatever means to talk about their issues so anybody who makes a threat either against law enforcement or against a public official down here is going to be charged and found. in the case of the threat made against the memorial service as yet that person has not been located but they are working hard and as you point out, two other people have been arrested a serious charge, terroristic threat and being held on a $1 million bond each. they are not fooling when it comes to that but as you point out, these two are not being considered suspects in the case of the murders.
6:02 am
as for that investigation it's moving forward, the mclellands were found murdered a week ago and one theory coming out as a result of the investigation is perhaps that maybe they might have known who their attacker was. the reason that is said is because the family was clearly on their guard and yet somehow the intruder made it into the home and there was no sign of breaking and entering, so was it possible they opened the door to someone they knew or someone they thought they knew, in other words, a disguise or a ruse in some way. that's where it stands. meanwhile, last night on "anderson cooper" christina foreman, the daughter of the mclellands spoke about the heartbreak in their family. >> they were amazing. they were the most amazing people i have ever known in my entire life. they had such conviction and such strength and they really believed in what they were doing and they loved their family you know, we have a blended family and five kids and they loved all of us and they had so much to
6:03 am
give. >> reporter: everything you read and hear in this community, that is echoed over and over about the mclellands. mark hasse was murdered two months just before. miguel? >> thank you very much there, martin. turning now to north korea and the question of how far the regime is prepared to go. the reclusive nation is showing off its military might in newly released images and appears to be readying its missiles. north korea has loaded two medium range missiles on to mobile launchers on its east coast, they could threaten south korea and japan. former u.s. special envoy to the middle east george mitchell says the obama administration must be ready. >> i think it requires a high level of concern without creating any new pressure or tensions, and i think the person is handling it about right in that regard. this is a totally totetalitarian
6:04 am
state dominated by the military with a young untested and probably lacking in knowledge leader who has to prove himself. he's trying to show the military he's a tough guy. we've been through this before with north korea and with others, but absurd as some of these claims sound coming from them, they must be taken seriously and the administration must be prepared to act. >> washington is deploying missile defense systems in guam where u.s. bases are located and south korea is sending destroyers to guard its coast. secretary of state john kerry is headed back to the middle east. his first stop in istanbul and six more cities on his itinerary before returning to washington april 15th. the tour includes stops in jerusalem and ramallah where he could urge both israelis and palestinians to return to peace talks. some breaking news out of south africa, anti-apartheid

potential candidate for govern, maybe the next u.s. attorney general, by many accounts a rising star in the democratic party, but her resume isn't grabbing headlines. what president obama said about her thursday at a private fund-raiser in california is, calling her "by far the best looking attorney general." the white house answering to cnn about the comment. how is he reflected on his comments since making them and has he called harris? >> he called her to apologize for the distraction created by his comments and you know they are old friends and good friends, and he did not want in any way to diminish the attorney general's professional accomplishments. >> it's sexist. that simple comment drops her like a stone electorally and makes voters much more like -- much less likely to see her as qualified or worthy of their

6:20 am
the game is marketed to children. >> so it will hurt the mobile apps that target kids or go after them specifically? >> i think it's going to hurt them and definitely going to be a big problem for them. remember their revenue model is based on collecting this data so they can target specific ads to you. if you're not paying for that app the revenue model is you and they want as much information as they can from you in order to target the best app but it's definitely a problem for them. it might even hurt innovation so a lot of these companies are second guessing whether to put the apps on the market that could be construed as marking to kids. imagine a world without angry birds. >> carley knobloch thank you for joining us. >> thank you. a 76-year-old retired educator hasn't given up her love of teaching. this time she's taking the classroom to the students in a high-tech bus that's like none other, reaching out to
